Fish Brewing Company has come out with an new brew called Clean Water Ale. From Greenbiz.com:
beerOLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 30, 2005 - Beginning this week, local residents will be able to help protect water quality in Puget Sound by knocking back a glass of beer that's arriving at bars and restaurants around town.

Clean Water Ale, brainchild of Olympia's Fish Brewing Company, is the latest in the brewer's line of organic ales and lagers. Created in collaboration with Seattle's Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, the new beer continues the company's tradition of supporting local environmental causes.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Clean Water Ale is donated to the Puget Soundkeeper Alliance. The alliance's mission is to protect and preserve Puget Sound through active monitoring, active engagement, active enforcement and solution-oriented partnerships.
